22.2 Managing the appliance settings
Appliance settings include the network settings, the clock settings, and the SNMP settings for your
appliance in the data center.
If the appliance has not yet been configured when you log in, you are instructed to configure the
appliance network. You can change appliance network settings at any time after they are
configured.
You manage the appliance network configuration from the Settings screen or by using the REST
APIs. The Settings screen enables you to manage various system-wide settings and tasks. Use the
Settings
→Actions menu to access various appliance and security tasks, including downloading
audit logs.

22.2.3 About appliance SNMP settings
Network management systems use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor
network-attached devices. The appliance uses SNMP to retrieve information from managed devices.
The devices use SNMP to send asynchronous notifications (called traps) to the appliance.
You specify a read community string that serves as a credential to verify access to the SNMP data
on the managed devices. The appliance sends the read community string to enclosures (through
their OAs) and to the servers (though their iLO management processors). Some older devices
require manual host OS configuration.

For the appliance to monitor the health of HP ProLiant G7 blade servers, you need to configure
the SNMP settings for the server and iLO3.
